Replying to: matroy318 (Mar 05, 2008 12:44 pm) It sounds like it starts, but when the letting go of the ignition key it stops.   Tom Replies to this message: elroy5 (Mar 06, 2008 3:21 pm) twcinnh (Mar 07, 2008 10:23 am) user777 (Mar 08, 2008 6:45 am)

Replying to: twcinnh (Mar 06, 2008 9:32 am) It sounds like it starts, but when the letting go of the ignition key it stops.   That definitely sounds like an ignition switch problem. If you start the engine, but don't let the key go all the way back, it may stay running. If so, the ignition switch is bad. I think you can change only the electrical part of the switch, and not have another key to carry around. Good luck Replies to this message: twcinnh (Mar 07, 2008 10:23 am) user777 (Mar 08, 2008 6:45 am)

Replying to: elroy5 (Mar 06, 2008 3:21 pm) The switch has been changed. So far so good.   Thanks for your very useful responses.   Best regards,   Tom

...on my '93 LX (131000 mi. 5sp.), i'm feeling a lot of engine movement or play when slightly accelerating from stop (idle)...is this worn engine mount syndrome or something else? Replies to this message: tom1sharon2 (Mar 12, 2008 7:11 am) jazzchaz (Mar 12, 2008 11:00 am)

#1119 of 1864 93 Accord SE leaking transmission fluie by twcinnh Mar 10, 2008 (6:45 am)
My 93 Accord has a small transmission leak under the radiator. One mechanic said "Don't worry, just replace it when it gets low."   The other said, it's a slow leak but someday it may suddenly let go and there goes your transmission. But, it's cheap to fix."   I said OK, fix it. Suddenly the entire radiator had to be replaced as part of the solution. Something about the transmission line connects to the bottom of the radiator and that's where there is some corrosion on the transmission line.   Am I getting a line, or does this sound plausible?   Thanks for any help understanding what's going on.   Regards,   Tom Replies to this message: lilengineerboy (Mar 10, 2008 3:00 pm) twcinnh (Nov 13, 2009 8:56 am)

Replying to: twcinnh (Mar 10, 2008 6:45 am) The transmission cooler for the automatic is integrated into the radiator. The radiator is plastic with metal clips IIRC. The metal clips rust and bust the plastic connections when someone tries to remove them. All the radiator changes I've done have been with manuals, but even those hose clips can be challenging to get off without breaking 15 year old heat cycled weather beaten plastic. I would think a professional could get the trans coolant line off without busting the radiator, but I could also see that plastic connection as being the failure mode itself.

#1122 of 1864 92 Accord LX Radiator Replacement by automoron Mar 11, 2008 (8:53 pm)
My Honda dealer says my 92 Accord (manual trans) w/181K miles needs the radiator replaced, and that this is not very difficult to do myself. I am looking for feedback for those who have tried, to confirm this.   Also, does anyone know of a link to step-by-step instructions with pictures? Thanks.

Replying to: automoron (Mar 11, 2008 8:53 pm) I don't know of an internet how-to, but you can buy one of those cheap ($15-$20) manuals from Autozone, and it will have the step by step with pictures. The main secret is to remove the radiator with the fans still attached, switch the fans to the new radiator, and replace as a unit. Not too difficult.
